Figure 3. (-)-epigallocatechin gallate inhibits the activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 and modulates the expression of the Bcl-2 family proteins induced by H2O2 in HLEB-3 cells

The cells were treated with 25 and 50 μM EGCG in presence of 100 μM H2O2 for 24 h. A: The expression of caspase-9 and caspase-3 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. B: The expression of the pro-caspase-9 and cleaved-caspase-3 protein was analyzed by western blot analysis. C: Western blot was performed for Bcl-2 and Bax expression. D: Densitometric analyses of western blot are presented as the mean±SD for three independent experiments performed in triplicate. Data are presented as the fold induction over control cells. The asterisk indicates that p<0.05 compared to the untreated control and the sharp (hash mark) means that p<0.05 compared to the H2O2-treated group.
